Waggle O' The
Kilt
A simple brief
thought on Scottish
Independance.

Were the outdated
union not of some very
high value to England and
the English, why would
they fight so to try to
keep it?

There are only so many
slices to a pie, for one to
have more, another must
have less.

Lastly - to those Scottish
"Loyalists" - to whom are
you loyal?
Scots royalty died in the
1700's so it can be no
Scots crown - And
certainly not it appears to
those who came before,
that bled for Scotland
and her freedom !  
In the words
of Burns, as he
wrote from the heart.

Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,
Welcome to your gory bed,
Or to victorie.

Now's the day, and now's the hour;
See the front o' battle lour;
See approach proud Edward's power,
Chains and slaverie.

Wha would be a traitor-knave?
Wha can fill a coward's grave?
Wha sae base as be a Slave?
Let him turn and flie:

Wha for Scotland's king and law,
Freedom's sword will strongly draw,
Free-man stand, or free-man fa',
Let him follow me.

By Oppression's woes and pains!
By your Sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!

Lay the proud Usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty's in every blow!
Let us Do - or Die!!!

Choose your destiny.

I'll never forget the day I went and join'd the
"Ninety third"
The chums I used to run with said they
thought I look'd absurd.
As they saluted me, and gather'd round me in
a ring,
And as I wagg'd my tartan kilt they a' began to
sing -

Chorus
He's a braw braw Hielan' laddie, Private Jock
McDade.
There's not anither soger like him in the
Scotch Brigade.
Rear'd amang the heather, you can see he's
Scottish built,
By the wig, wig, wiggle, wiggle, waggle o' the
kilt.

Chorus

I'll never forget the day we were order'd on
review.
The king came down to see us, and the
queen was with him too.
As I march'd by the royal coach the king just
shook his head.
The queen put on her royal spec's and look'd
at me and said -

Chorus

I'll never forget the day we went away to
camp.
But the sun was hot, I drank a lot, I was nearly
dead with cramp.
I'm very nearly certain sure I would have died
that day,
But the thing that saved my life was when the
band began to play-
